G - Your Questions Answered

 
Galley
The ship's kitchen - on some cruises a galley tour may be arranged. Check at the purser's desk. All ships have their own bakers & patisseries onboard.
 
 
Gambling
Most of the new cruise ships have full casinos including all your favourites: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and slot machines. Some ships have smaller gambling areas. See CASINOS.
 
 
Gentleman Hosts
Many cruise lines offer free passage to professional retired gentleman who are keen dancers, to partner single ladies wishing to participate in a dance or two. This is tastefully done, tending to be more popular on American-orientated ships.
 
 
Gratuities(tipping)
All cruise lines operate different policies in relation to this subject, therefore it is best to check the individual brochures accordingly. Also see TIPPING.

 

 
 
Gross Registered Tonnes(GRT)
Not the weight of a ship but the total navigation of all permanently enclosed spaces above & below decks, with certain exceptions, e.g. bridge, radio room, galleys etc. This unit of measurement was invented in England centuries ago for taxation purposes.
 
 
Guaranteed Cabins
When making a reservation, you may be offered a guarantee of a cabin grade, as opposed to a specific cabin number. Once allocated, you can be assured you will be given a cabin of the grade that you have booked or higher, certainly not lower.
